Panthers tight end suspended 4 games for PED use

Two weeks ago, it was Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis announcing he’s been suspended for the first four games of the 2018 season for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substances policy.

Today, it’s backup tight end Kent Taylor getting the same punishment, according to a report by NFL.com.

Carolina Panthers tight end Kent Taylor also was suspended for the first four games of the 2018 regular season for violating the league’s performance-enhancing substances policy. Taylor, who saw time on Carolina’s practice squad last season, is eligible to return to the Panthers’ active roster on Oct. 8 following the team’s Oct. 7 game against the New York Giants.

Taylor is just the latest in a rash of drug-related suspensions for the Panthers. It appears the league is keeping a closer eye on the team.

The good news is Taylor was unlikely to play unless Carolina was hit hard by injuries at tight end.
